Tips for Krabi
- Railay can only be reached by boat, usually a long-tail from Ao Nang or Krabi town; the last boats leave around sunset.
- The climb to the Tiger Cave Temple's summit shrine has over 1,200 steep steps; go early in the morning and carry water.
- Cover shoulders and knees at temples, including Wat Kaew Korawaram and the Tiger Cave Temple.
- Watch your bags at the Tiger Cave Temple and on Railay, where monkeys grab food and loose items.
- From May to October rough seas can stop some boat trips; check before planning island visits.
